Abstract
A portable power amplifier includes portable encapsulating cases, a printed board incorporated in those encapsulating cases, and a power amplifying device mounted on this printed board. An antenna switch and an antenna are provided near the power amplifying device, which is connected to those components in a pattern. This structure improves heat dissipation efficiency of the portable power amplifier.
Description
The present invention relates to portable power amplifiers to be used in portable apparatuses.
A conventional portable power amplifier used in portable apparatuses is a simple one because the apparatuses are portable, which regulates a specification of their power amplifiers, so that the power amplifier is not a large size, or does not dissipate heat efficiently. To be specific, as shown in FIG. 7 , power amplifying device 2 is mounted on an upper face of printed board 1 disposed in a portable outer case typically used in a portable phone. Heat generated from amplifying device 2 travels through through-holes 3 and is dissipated from pattern 4 prepared on a rear face of printed board 1. However, in this conventional structure, pattern 4 is limited in size as a heat-sink and cannot dissipate heat sufficiently. A use of a dedicated large heat-sink would enlarge the apparatus and make it unfit for portable use.
A portable power amplifier comprising the following elements is provided:
a portable outer case;
a printed board disposed in the outer case;
a power amplifying device mounted to the printed board; and
a heat resisting component disposed close to the amplifying device and coupled to the amplifying device via heat conductive material.

FIG. 1 throughFIG. 6 .

A second output from antenna switch 12 is supplied to second quadrature demodulator 20 of DCS band (1800 MHz) via band pass filter 18 that passes signals in the DCS band and via LNA 19. Then demodulator 20 supplies its output to DC offset canceler 16. A second output from VCO 17 is supplied to another input terminal of second quadrature demodulator 20.
A third output from antenna switch 12 is supplied to third quadrature demodulator 23 of PCS band (1900 MHz) via band pass filter 21 that passes signals of the PCS band and via LNA 22. Demodulator 23 supplies its output to DC offset canceler 16. A third output from VCO 17 is supplied to another input terminal of third quadrature demodulator 23.
An output from DC offset canceler 16 is supplied to processing circuit 24 that includes a base-band signal processing circuit, an AD conversion circuit and a DA conversion circuit. An output from processing circuit 24 is supplied to PLL circuit 26 via quadrature demodulator 25. An output from PLL circuit 26 is supplied to VCO 17 for controlling VCO 17. An output from VCO 17 is supplied to an input terminal of antenna switch 12 via power amplifying device (hereinafter referred to simply as PA) 27. An output level of PA 27 is detected by power detection circuit 28, and fed back to processing circuit 24.
PA 27 amplifies an input of ca. 3 mW approximately 1300 times and outputs a signal of ca. 4 W. PA 27 thus needs a large power, and its heat dissipation capacity is raised as a problem in order to gain output efficiently. The present invention addresses mainly PA 27, VCO 17, antenna switch 12 and the vicinity of antenna 11.
Heat generated from PA 27 travels to pattern 35 (used as an example of heat conductive material) formed on a rear face of printed board 31 via through-holes 34. Pattern 35 is disposed adjacent to a heat resisting outer case of antenna switch 12 as well as to antenna switch 12 per se, and is coupled to heat resisting connector 32.
As such, antenna switch 12 and connector 32 are placed close to PA 27, thereby reducing heat resistance of pattern 35. As a result, antenna 11 and antenna switch 12 can efficiently dissipate heat of PA 27. Pattern 35 is preferably as wide or thick as possible in order to reduce its heat resistance. The number of through-holes 34 is preferably as many as possible because of the same reason.
In a case that a multi-layer board is used as printed board 31, pattern 35 is preferably prepared as a first layer so that heat resistance can be lowered. FIG. 1 does not show an outer case; however, a case covering printed board 31 is actually available. In this embodiment a rod antenna is used as antenna 11; however, an antenna formed of chip components can be used. Antenna 11 can be exposed from the outer case, and this exposure substantially increases a heat dissipation performance. A surface of pattern 35 is roughened in advance by buffing or chemical polishing, so that this pattern formed of copper foil dissipates heat with ease.
Heat generated from PA 27 can be dissipated efficiently from shielding case 43 prepared for shielding electronics components, the outer case of antenna switch 12, and antenna switch 12 per se.
Part of top plate 47 of shielding case 43 above PA 27 is cut and bent to form slip 50, then slip 50 is elastically urged against a top plate of PA 27. This structure allows shielding case 43 to dissipate heat directly from PA 27, thereby obtaining an advantage of heat-dissipation.
Further, side face 46 of shielding case 43 is roughened, thereby enlarging a surface area for increasing a heat dissipation efficiency. Top plate 47 is smoother than side face 46 and can be sucked with a nozzle, thereby allowing handling of the amplifier with ease, and case 43 looks fine on the top plate.
In manufacturing shielding case 43, a metal plate is cut by punching, thereby forming burr 51 at the end of side face 46, then the plate is bent at a right angle in a cutting direction, so that side face 46 is formed.
The heat generated from PA 27 can be dissipated from encapsulating cases 62, 63 prepared for protecting electronics components. A placement of junction point 66 of antenna switch 12, encapsulating cases 62 and 63 close to PA 27 reduces a routing of pattern 65. Then heat resistance is lowered, and heat of PA 27 can be dissipated efficiently from encapsulating cases 62, 63 and antenna switch 12. Pattern 65 is preferably as thick as possible in order to reduce its heat resistance. The number of through-holes 64 is preferably as many as possible for the same reason. In a case that a multi-layer board is used as printed board 61, heat conductive pattern 65 is preferably prepared as a first layer so that heat resistance can be lowered.
The portable phone discussed above is used such that audio input device 70 is brought close to a user's mouth and audio output device 72 is brought close to the user's ear. As a result, audio input device 70 takes its place below PA 27 and audio output device 72 takes its place above PA 27 when the portable phone is in use. First hole 71 and second hole 73 are thus placed such that they face audio input device 70 and audio output device 72 respectively. Therefore, air flows in through first hole 71 opposite to audio input device 70, and flows out through second hole 73 opposite to audio output device 72. This mechanism allows open air to flow into outer cases 62 and 63 through first hole 71 of audio input device 70, and heated air to flow out through second hole 73 of audio output device 72, so that PA 27 can be cooled.
Providing PA 27 with spaces 52 shown in FIG. 2 above and below PA 27 will further cool PA 27.
An output from PA 27 is supplied to a second matching circuit formed of inductor 83 and chip capacitor 84. Inductor 83 is coupled to PA 27 in series, and chip capacitor 84 is coupled to PA 27 in parallel.
In this fourth embodiment, chip capacitors 82 and 84 are reflow-soldered, so that they take advantage of a self-alignment effect of reflow soldering. As a result, capacitors 82 and 84 are accurately soldered onto given positions of a pattern free from unnecessary inductance. Thus, an excellent power amplifying can be expected, and a portable power amplifier of superb characteristics is obtainable.
An output from the second matching circuit is supplied to directional coupler 85, of which a first output is supplied to output terminal 87 via low pass filter 86. Output terminal 87 is coupled to an input terminal of antenna switch 12. A second output from directional coupler 85 is supplied to automatic power control circuit 88, of which an output is supplied to power control terminal 27 a of PA 27.
Between circuit 88 and power control terminal 27 a, grounded chip capacitor 91 is coupled, and between circuit 88 and power supply control terminal 27 b grounded chip capacitor 92 is coupled. These capacitors 91 and 92 can attenuate noises riding on terminals 27 a and 27 b, and since these two capacitors are placed close to PA 27, they can dissipate heat generated from PA 27.
This structure also suppresses temperatures of capacitors 82 and 84 from rising, so that changes of impedance of the matching circuits due to temperature drift can be suppressed. As a result, a signal loss due to heat generated from Pa 27 can be minimized.
Instead of the second matching circuit, low pass filter 86 can be directly coupled to an output terminal of PA 27. In this case, a chip capacitor that is an element of filter 86, and of which one of the electrodes is grounded, is preferably placed close to shielding case 47. This chip capacitor is reflow-soldered and thus accurately positioned, which assures production of a low pass filter having a stable cut-off frequency and that is less affected by temperature.
Instead of chip inductor 81, 83, a pattern inductor can be used. And an inductor that is an element of low pass filter 86 can be used as a pattern inductor. In this case, the pattern inductor can dissipate heat, and is strong enough to withstand vibrations or shocks. Further, it can be adjusted to a given inductance by laser trimming, so that an accurate portable power amplifier is obtainable.
In a case when input terminal 80 receives an output from an oscillator of an open-collector, a dc is applied to terminal 80 in order to power the oscillator. In this case the dc should be prevented from being applied to PA 27, so that a dc cut-off capacitor is disposed between input terminal 80 and PA 27. Since this capacitor can just cut off the dc, it keeps working even if heat from PA 27 changes its capacitance somewhat. This dc cut-off capacitor is inserted between input terminal 80 and PA 27, so that it is placed close to PA 27, thereby dissipating heat of PA 27.
As discussed above, the portable power amplifier of the present invention comprises the following elements:
a portable outer case;
a printed board disposed in the outer case; and
a power amplifying device mounted to the printed board.
A heat resisting component is disposed in the vicinity of the power amplifying device, and coupled to the power amplifying device via heat conductive material, so that the heat resisting component has two functions; namely, the component as itself and as a heat sink. As a result, heat can be well dissipated and also the portable power amplifier can be downsized without having an independent heat sink that would enlarge the portable power amplifier.
Since the power amplifying device is mounted on a printed board, a printed pattern can be fully utilized as heat conductive material, so that the portable power amplifiers can be manufactured with ease. The structure discussed above allows eliminating a heat sink from the printed board, so that wiring can be designed with ease and the number of components can be reduced.
The present invention relates to a portable power amplifier to be used in portable apparatuses, and aims to provide a portable power amplifier that can dissipate heat efficiently and can be fit in the portable apparatuses without changing sizes of the apparatuses.
